Spring walk

We went on an Easter Monday walk with Jack. It is the first time this year we visited the Loch Ardinnig nature reserve. I love walking there but in winter it can be really really muddy. One year we lost the track at the back end of the walk, near the loch and ended up in the swamp, carrying smaller children from grass island to grass island.The nature reserve has such a variety of landscapes, it is Scotland on a small scale. Starting off at the loch side, you stroll through birch woods, then meander up a wide path to and over the moor, then back down towards the loch along a fast flowing brook. I was hoping to capture the awakening of nature but forgot to check the battery of my camera. I took this photo with my phone. Can you see the shadows of the clouds over the Campsies? Wishing you all a good week. x

Hey Christina,Well I think that this is a perfect picture. I take loads of pics with my phone, because I am finding my bigger camera a bit of a pain. I think I may need to buy a good quality pocket camera. The landscape of Scotland looks beautiful. I'm trying to persuade Marc to take Betty as far as Scotland this year. He's happy to travel down to Spain, but up to the North of our own country! Have a lovely week.Leanne xx

What a gorgeous spot, and a really lovely photo. Sweet boys! I bet they all loved the day when it was swampy, just the sort of adventure a small boy relishes. Or at least never forgets. It looks like an amazing spot to explore, how fantastic living close to mountains. CJ xx

Brill photo of the kids and the sunshine on the hills :) I had to smile at your muddy comment because at least you can wear your wellies! We have muddy here in Oz but our British wellies have never been worn as you look a right plonker wearing wellies in the park. If you see my post with the muddy crazy poodle you will see how I should get my wellies out - wellies for dogs, now that's an idea!Have a lovely day.Wren x

That looks wild and desolate - just how I like my countryside! It's pretty muddy around here too. I'm just home from a tramp through the woods and I was ankle-deep in it (explains why there are always wellies in the back of the car).It looks like the kind of walk that justifies hot chocolate and cake afterwards :)S x
